It’s almost that time! (Morels)

[MBMorgan]

I prefer to go hunting for and finding these kind, anyone care to guess? I'll give you a clue, if you break the stem the stalk turns purple....

Never tried psilocybin myself ... and I'm guessing that more than just the stalk turns purple if ingested ...

[Mr. Bones]

Boil em, make tea...
Then, slice em up, put on pizza, or in pasta sauce...
Or, so I've heard...

[MBMorgan]

Mr. Bones - just guessin’ too. 🍷

Here's is the source I plan to buy morels from: https://www.oregonmushrooms.com/c-2-...mushrooms.aspx

Here is an article I found that causes me some disappointment: https://www.oregonmushrooms.com/c-17...mushrooms.aspx

And a confirmation: https://science.howstuffworks.com/10...x-alcohol3.htm

Anyone of y'all have a problem with alcohol consumed with morels?

[EdF]

And yet another kind - hen of the woods!

[Thunder77]

Looks like brains.... :-P

[Troutman]

So EdF, if I lend you a wizards cap you'd be right at home huh ??

[EdF]

For sure, Troutman!

I did some digging and I found a few pics from one of my hunts, last year. I love taking my nephews out on the hunt, they are getting really into it. Wyatt, found his first one last year! All by himself too! Such a good kid!

[Spinaker]

Yep! They were made about 2 miles from my house. Troutman

[Bluegill]

That’s a nice haul!

[Spinaker]

Hahahaha, I would love to, someday, but we are a ways from that, my friend! Troutman

not gonna lie, this thread is half freaking, half grossing me out. Im only just starting to enjoy the most basic of store bought mushrooms. Most of my life i have really disliked the texture although i have always enjoyed the flavor you get from a mushroom stock.

[Spinaker]

Morels are in a league of their own.

[Troutman]

So does that become a question of morality ?

[Bluegill]

If I can try sushi, you can try morels. LOL

[FireMan]

Hey, anybody try mushroom ketchup. And no, not cat soup, no sugar & no tomato.

[Bluegill]

Sorry FireMan, but that sounds kinda strange?

[Spinaker]

Hey, anybody try mushroom ketchup. And no, not cat soup, no sugar & no tomato.

No, is that a thing? I feel like it could be in Sconi. You never know what can go down on that side of the St. Croix. LOL

[Spinaker]

Well it was a pretty good hunt today. I found about 20 Morels. This spring has been cold and wet, making timing a lot more difficult this year. But they are popping in our area now. Gonna head back out tomorrow.
